More than 60 activists from different parts of the country and representatives of several organizations came together on November 9 in Vienna, Austria, for the Nationwide Palestine Conference organized by the Action for Democratic Rights of the People (ADRV).
The participants, including the Palestinian Cultural Association Handala, the Arab Palestinian Club (APC), the Anti-Imperialist Coordination (AIK), Friends of the Filipino People in Struggle, the Anti-Racism Network CAGE Austria, Dar al-Janub, and journalist Nicole Schöndorfer, gathered under the slogan “Freedom for Palestine,” dealing with the solidarity movement’s activities and successes over the past year.
International messages of support from France, Sweden, and Malta and the Coordination Committee of the Anti-Imperialist League further highlighted the global significance of the Palestine solidarity movement. The ADRV plans to publish the conference presentations in a brochure.
A choir added to the event’s spirit, and ADRV representatives emphasized the movement’s legitimate goals against the criminalization by the ruling class. They proposed common demands for future actions and issued a declaration from the Palestine Committees.
The conference successfully fostered unity, as the ADRV reports, and provided new perspectives for the movement in Austria, reinforcing solidarity for Palestine and the anti-imperialist struggle. The full report can be read here .
